Notes

Following the extension of the 'temporary'
ban on the use of meat and bone meal (MBM) in all animal feed, the
EU is facing a massive MBM disposal problem. Although the capacity
exists to incinerate and dispose of EU production of MBM, this capacity
is insufficient to cope with the 1.1 million tonne backlog which
now exists. This mountain is unlikely to be removed soon, given
the decreasing use of MBM in animal feeds worldwide which has occurred
in the wake of the BSE crisis.
